Answer :

The question is incomplete, and the full version can be found on Brainly.

Answer: C. Converting to electric vehicles would be too costly for schools that are already facing severe budget problems.

Explanation:

A good counterclaim should directly address the main claim and be based on solid evidence instead of a mere opinion. The idea of electric cars electrocuting drivers is plainly untrue, as there´s no evidence to support it. Claiming that electric cars are ugly or the result of some kind of conspiracy can only be based on personal opinions, and are not a proper counterclaim. Only option C correctly addresses the main claim and provides a valid reason to oppose it. Budget problems in schools are widely known and would probably be a deterring factor for them to able to purchase electric cars.
